If you remember back in the middle of October I shared with you all 5 tips to keep in mind before you start using your PMD (Personal MicroDerm) for the first time — I titled it A REAL Beginners Guide to Using Your PMD MicroDerm because I felt like all 5 tips were things I hadn’t expected or wasn’t prepared for when I first started using this tool. So definitely catch up with that post if you haven’t already — but today I’m bringing you 5 benefits that I’ve experienced since I started using this tool. WITH Before/After pictures included! Ready to see my results??
5 Benefits I Experienced from Using My PMD Personal MicroDerm
This post is sponsored by PMD via the PRIMP Network
1st Benefit: It’s Quick & Easy to Use
If you’re anything like me, this is big! I am so bad when it comes to adding stuff to my routine or getting into the habit of using something…especially if it takes a while. I’m not even going to admit how long it took me to get into the habit of using a clay mask once a week! And honestly, that’s the biggest reason I never invested in the PMD Personal MicroDerm before this — I didn’t know if I would use it consistently enough to see results and therefore make the $159 retail price worth it.
But it really is super easy to use! Yes, it’s loud, so I don’t use it if my husband is already asleep for the night 😛 But it legit takes me less than 2 minutes to do my whole face and I move on to the next step in my routine. I only skipped one week of using this in the past 40ish days — and that was because my daughter and I came down with the stomach bug. 🙁 But besides that, I never had an issue remembering to pull it out of my drawer Sunday nights and using it — even if I was tired. It’s quick, easy, and painless and I’ll continue to use and enjoy the benefits in the coming months!
2nd Benefit: My Skin FEELS Softer
The first benefit that I noticed when I started to using my PMD Personal MicroDerm was how soft my face started feeling. I’ve always been careful to exfoliate my skin for the past several years, and I’m only 25, so my skin has always been relatively soft…but it got noticeably softer after the first few weeks of using it. My foundation also glides on and blends into my skin just a little bit easier and smoother! It’s the little things in life…and a smooth foundation application is definitely one of them!
3rd Benefit: My Hyperpigmentation Spots are Fading
The biggest difference that I’ve been able to see when I look in the mirror each day is that the hyperpigmenation spots that I have on my face — primarily on my cheeks — from old acne spots have gotten lighter. They’re not all completely gone yet, but they’re definitely improving! Which is huge and the biggest reason I wanted to try the PMD MicroDerm tool in the first place. I think you can totally tell from the pictures showing the before/after results of the right side of my face….right?
4th Benefit: My Skin TEXTURE Is Improving
I think you can also see it in the before/after photos above, but I had a lot of texture/scars right below my cheekbones — kinda in the area I contour. I know it’s hard to see scaring and texture in these photos, but trust me when I say that I definitely had a good bit! You can really see it in my videos on my channel — if you want to go look at a few. As I said, it’s mainly just on the right side of my face.
5th Benefit: Continued Improvement to Come!
I know this is kind of lame, but the Personal MicroDerm’s website actually says results are most obvious to see 8-12 weeks after use, and I’ve only been using it for a little over a month — and I did miss a week. Oops! So I am looking forward to seeing what else improves on my face once we hit the end of the year.
Also, another bonus that I experience when using this PMD is that I did not experience any additional break outs or skin irritations from the device. As I mentioned, my face gets a tiny bit red immediately after, but it’s back to normal within 5 minutes. And no additional breakouts. No dry spots. No irritation. Nothing! Nothing but improvement! Yay!
That’s My Experience With my PMD! What’s Yours?
I’d love to hear if you’ve tried the PMD Personal MicroDerm tool and what your experience has been so far. Let me know in the comments below! And if you haven’t tried or purchased this tool yet, definitely check out my first post where I share a REAL beginner’s guide to using this tool…because I had some experiences I wasn’t expecting or prepared for!
If you are wanting to invest in the PMD tool, make sure you wait for a good sale (because who likes to pay retail…especially when it’s over $100!) or use the code PRIMP20 to get 20% off — making this device only $127.20. I know it’s still pricey, but remember — the PMD is an investment in the health of your skin!

Shannon Brown says
I would love to try it??????hope my mom sees this comment. Lol.
Katie Marie says
LOL! Hope she does, too :-*
Megan Palmer says
For someone like me with sensitive skin, would you say this would be okay to use? I mark really easy and I know you said you saw that it helped with scaring but would this be okay for me to use?
Katie Marie says
I think you could still use this with sensitive skin — they have several different wands that ups the intensity over time. So you could just stick to the first one for a few months and see if you have any adverse effects. Also, try googling more reviews on the PMD and see if anyone who has very sensitive skin reviewed it <3
Brandy ingram says
The results with this product seem amazing. It is definitely something to think about investing in. It kinda scares me to do something like that myself but my reading your experience with the products doesn’t seem to scary at all.
Katie Marie says
It’s DEFINITELY an investment and I was TOTALLY scared the first time I used it…but it isn’t that scary. Though it’s loud. Very loud, haha, it always surprises me a bit when I turn it on just how loud it is 😛
Amanda Voss says
You can totally see a difference. It looks amazing. I’ve never heard of that product before your blog!!!
Katie Marie says
Yay, I’m so glad you can tell — I can totally tell in person but sometimes it doesn’t translate as well in photos <3
Vanessa Novoa says
It seems like it would be an interesting item to try! The results are awesome! Def something to think about! Thank you 🙂
Katie Marie says
You’re very welcome!
Michelle Castagne says
I can see the difference in the hyperpigmentation and you didn’t use it for that long. The results after several months must be amazing.
Katie Marie says
Yes, I’m so excited about the results so far! I can’t wait to continue to see how it helps my skin!

Nichole says
you had me at sheet mask
Katie Marie says
LOL! Sheet masks are all the rage these days!
Jennie Harris says
I saw this item and I am interested in getting one (and one of the laser hair remover – no I am not hairy as a beast ? because who likes shaving) have you used the dermablading and if so how does it compare? Thank you for jumping into the tester and doing an awesome job!
Katie Marie says
Hey Jennie! lol, yes, laser hair remover sounds so nice as opposed to shaving or waxing! I actually haven’t tried dermablading yet, but that’s a good point! I’ve always stayed away from dermablading because I AM a hair person and I hate the feel of the shaved peach fuzz on my face growing back, lol. I prefer to wax it so it comes back in softer/not as noticeable. Maybe some day I’ll buck up and try a dermablading tool… 🙂
Kristi V BeginNails says
Wow! I really noticed the skin texture change! You got a great improvement!
Katie Marie says
Thank you!! Yes, the smoother texture is the best part that I’ve noticed so far!
pikabear says
Never tried the PMD tool, but I’m sure I’ll give it a shot one day cause i have lots of acne >.<
Katie Marie says
I feel ya — I highly recommend this! I had so much hyperpigmentation from old acne breakouts. Such a pain!
Andrea Darst says
I’ve been meaning to try my PMD and now I will! You can really see the improvements in your skin!
Katie Marie says
Go for it, girl! It can be hard to remember to use it once a week at first, but once it becomes habit it’s super quick and easy!
Breck Socha says
So intrigued by this!! Your skin looks so healthy, definitely going to have to try this out???
Katie Marie says
Thank you!
MarciaF says
I’d love to use this for hyperpigmentation. On their website I saw that they have something for lips that looks really interesting too.
Katie Marie says
Yes, the kiss plumper thing — I am trying that one out, too! I’m hoping to see improvement in the lines in my lips!
Suzanne G says

Cindy says
I’ve had the same experience and I hope to keep improving!
Katie Marie says
Yay, so awesome to hear!
Krystal E. says
Oddly, I own one and don’t use it. I feel like it’s too harsh on my face but after seeing this post, I want to try it again.
Katie Marie says
They have different little applicator/wands so you can switch it up and use the gentlest one? Maybe that will work better for you!
Jenalyn says
I’ll grab one of these some day. They look so useful!
Katie Marie says
It’s definitely an investment, but really gives you the results they promise!

Katie Marie says
Thank you so much! I’ve really been pleased with my results so far and can’t wait to see how it is after 6 months, or a year! Hoping to reduce these acne scars and marks for good!
Andrea says
It’s now been around 10 weeks since you first used this. Is your skin even more amazing now? Have you plateaued at all?
Katie Marie says
I wish I could give you an update…but I actually stopped using it for 6 weeks at the start of the year. I had my baby at the end of the year and while I had thought I would be able to keep it up…I forget how tired you are when you have a newborn! lol! So, yeah, I stopped it for 6 weeks and my results just stalled. Thankfully I haven’t noticed any of my old spots or discoloration returning because I stopped — so that’s a good sign! I just started using it again, though, so hopefully I will continue to see results!
If you are not already subscribed to my Youtube channel, definitely check it out and see if you would like to subscribe. I plan to do an update video on my channel either in the summer or fall — after I’ve been using the PMD for a solid 6 months — to share my long-term results. 🙂
